Print[] puts its output on a separate line so the only way this will work
through a loop, is to print your line with increasing numbers of dots.
(
Print[StringJoin["." & /@ Range[#]]]
) & /@ Range[10];
Perhaps a better way might make use of the status bar. There's a detailed
post by Paul Abbot from a few years ago
(http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/1999/Feb/msg00351.html), and
another by Jens-Peer Kuska
(http://forums.wolfram.com/mathgroup/archive/2000/Nov/msg00056.html) that
will help.
